ADHD Coaching Coaching is a very good way of supporting people with ADHD. Medication, diet and exercise may all have a part to play in dealing with the condition but do not solve all the problems that arise. As an ADHD coach I understand the complexity of the condition and can help with the particular difficulties that result for an individual or a family.

Young Children Coaching is particularly useful when children are small. The earlier the diagnosis is made, the easier it is to introduce routines and strategies to help both the child and the parents to cope with the difficulties. Understanding the causes of behaviours and the best way to deal with them without making things worse can make the transition into adolescence and adulthood much smoother.

With young children, I will normally work with one or both parents. The emphasis will be on identifying what behaviours are causing problems within the family unit and finding ways to deal with these that work for all the family members. I can also assist with approaching the school and suggesting strategies to support the child.

Adolescents In adolescence, outside influences and hormonal changes can bring different challenges. Adolescents who are newly diagnosed with ADHD may find it very difficult to accept. The youngster is likely to need a lot of support to cope with the demands of secondary school, peer pressure and the need to start taking individual responsibility. This may mean that coaching will need to be a combination of working with the young person and with their parents.

Adults If you are an adult with ADHD, you have probably been struggling for most of your life. Family life is often particularly difficult when you have children who also have the condition. I can work with you to take control of your life, identify your strengths and help you overcome the barriers to achievement.

It is not always easy to make the necessary changes in your life on your own. Coaching can offer you non-judgemental guidance, support and encouragement. For it to work, you must be willing to make changes, be prepared to be challenged and to participate fully in our sessions. Contact me to arrange a free appointment to discuss how I can help you.
